Misery
By Niema Hussain, 17
Medium: charcoal
This piece is meant to raise awareness about the importance of maintaining your mental health. It features a man going through depression, and expressing the pure and raw emotions he’s feeling. Now more than ever, we should all try our best to check in with our mental health and seek help if needed.
